    So with the markets tumbling and the dollar sliding, how does that make America Great Again?

    Some other questions:

    Will pollsters have a job after this election?

    As Trumps isolationist policies develop, who will fill the void of the only superpower?

    It will be interesting to watch.

    “...how does that make America Great Again?”

    The same way the glowing and positive December 2015 responses from the media and markets caused Argentina's economy to immediately soar to its recent level of unimaginable success.

    The position of the dollar is not due to Trump but to Obumma and The Fed playing ducks and drakes with the economy.

    Perhaps now the failed experiment that was Obumma, which I frankly bought into hoping for a new future for us all, has proven to be the same old, same old democrat screw up.

    So let's see how the markets really do react in the coming months and not place any reliance on the failed MSN dilatants and frauds.

    EB: what makes you think there is only one super-power?

    I think Russia and China may have another view, anyway I thought you didn't like men with guns, what about women (not females) with guns, there are some spectacular special services, just look up the Israeli grouping.

    And try and calm down dear, you will have a hissy fit otherwise.

    “.....becomes US 45th president with support from white working class and rural voters”

    OR, supported by those who actually work and pay taxes (the backbone of any economy).....not by the 'wannabe' spongers.....or by the Wall Street 'elite', which makes money out of other people's, not adding any new wealth to the economy, but simply transferring and concentrating it in the hands of few.

    “I am your voice,” Trump told his supporters as he accepted the presidential nomination at the Republican National Convention in July.

    Hmmmm..

    ElaineB: “So with the markets tumbling and the dollar sliding, how does that make America Great Again?”

    In da news... after the kneejerking...

    “Wall Street welcomes Trump with a bang”

    “Wall Street doesn't fear President Trump”

    “ That didn't take long. An overnight panic in global markets evaporated as Wall Street gave an emphatic welcome to President-elect Donald Trump. The Dow soared 257 points and brushed up against lifetime highs on Wednesday, in defiance of those who predicted Trump's election would bring about a plunge in the stock market. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq rose 1.1% apiece. ”

    “The impressive market performance represents a dramatic reversal from the knee-jerk panic in global markets overnight as the results were coming in. Dow futures plummeted nearly 900 points at one point as investors expressed fear that no one would emerge victorious and concern about the inherent uncertainties brought on by a Trump White House. ”

    [We have made a lot of money from those who respond to the knee-jerkers. ]

    It's only the liberal press proclaiming doomsday, but as most of their forecasts, it isn't true...
    And business goes on as usual.

    Did anyone see the NTSE traders picture in the US press?

    On learning that TheHil had lost the election the biggest group shouted 'Put her in front of a judge', the second largest shout 'jail her' and the third 'hang her'.

    So much for her support from the actual 'investment and finance people”.

    Oh, the hypocrisy with the Dems blaming the electoral college system for TheHil losing! These same protesters NEVER moaned about it working for Obumma.

    But the best bit is that the WH are not denying that 'The Kenyan' as some are referring to The Dead Duck is actively considering giving TheHil a presidential pardon prior to Trump taking over in January.

    I did not think this guy could disappoint me any more than he has, if he does this I will have been wrong.

    And it seems that TheHil never got the vote from the women that she was relying on, mainly because her support of The Rapist and letting him 'walk all over her'. Well done to the American women. :o)

    I bet the feminists voted for her but they are a very small section nowadays especially since Germaine Green ripped them to bits.

    And now a little song from the gorgeous Vanessa Williams:

    lol.

    While the inherent liberal bias in the popular media handicapped their limited abilities at soothsaying the harassment and scapegoating (ala deplorables, etc.) of the Trump voters suppressed their visibility in polling.

    I've seen more Trump partisans today than I have all season.

    @ Jack Bauer

    EB was just shit stirring and she doesn't understand how the money markets work, even to the point of not knowing what a shave is.

    She probably thinks it's something to do with getting rid of female facial hair.

    The pound has moved up to match the dollar, now all that Tits has to do is get rid of the Dire-Duo: Carney and Hammond. :o)

    @ ChrisR
    Market reaction - or rather the liberal instigated reaction - the day after, does not mean much...have seen this before , and a few days later when people realize that the left-wing press was overreacting, trying to justify their useless existence, things go back to normal.

    @ChrisR -The Unhinged One

    Since you mentioned me again in another misogynist laden post. Of course I understand how the markets work - that is why I am rich and you are poor. You cannot dispute the facts. You can't afford to live in the U.K. so you must be really poor.

    Seriously, get some help with your issues with women. You are embarrassing yourself displaying them here.

    Of course dear, of course.

    As you are the female version of The Son of Man how about a few million of your wealth, Dollars or Pounds, but no Euros?

    Ha, ha, ha.

    You are starting to lose it again. It's not M time is it?

    Your fascination with women's periods is, quite frankly, disturbing.

    Read your post again - or get a grown up helper to read it for you. It makes no sense, just rambling nonsense.

    @ Hep, hep oh shit, I'm wrong again.

    No you stupid person it's the opposite of that. Happens to all sexual active females with functioning reproductive systems so that lets you and EB out. It has started to commence at two SD at forty years old.

    It used to be much, much higher.

    What is your fascination with women's reproductive systems? What is your reason for obsessing about them? Is there some sexist point you are failing to make? Or are you living up to your creepy reputation?
